I read this every morning before we start our exercises. End the reading with "A Bad Joke". If the one provided is not appropriate for my memory care folks I find a bad dad joke for kids online. I feel like it helps break the ice for the group activity.

Hi Donna, trivia information is a good mental exercise; it entertains and informs the listeners. Knowing weird, fantastic and obscure facts is good for mental health. Use ‘This Day in History’ anytime, it is an opportunity to learn about a variety of subjects and stimulate memory to other facts relating to the subject. Use it at the beginning of an activity while waiting for clients to arrive, use it at the end of an activity while tidying up, use it at tea time to amuse clients and visitors. Turn the TDH into a reminiscing session, e.g. what else happened in the year? What usually happens that is interesting in February? If mentioning someone famous ask which films did they feature? Who they were married to, and so on. “This Day in History’ is also a good pastime for loners who rarely leave they bedrooms. Make a booklet and give it to them.

Donna avatar

Sandra avatar

This is such a great resource and one that I know my clients will enjoy. It covers so many areas of ability, being able to just reminisce or to use their skills with maths or jumbled words.

Love this and look forward to them monthly.

You are all so awesome and I appreciate all your hard work.

Sandy

Talita avatar

You know - I think I would love to see this EVERY month .... if you are willing to do the Research!! I know that is alot of work. But, it brings back memories for the elderly of important people they will have heard of, and the associated memories of that person, whether it is a movie, an event in their life, or simply familiarity.

It is also a great distraction when people need one ..... and good to have on hand. Thanks in advance...

Talita avatar

There will be one released for each month of the year! Thanks so much for your feedback Tricia.
